All Things Fast and Hard from Proc Fiskal
for Keep Hush (Edinburgh)
Proc Fiskal's 'All Things Fast and Hard' set for Keep Hush Edinburgh is a whirlwind tour through electronic extremes, from ambient introspection to jersey club frenetics—a reminder that our obsession with BPM ranges (here 100-162) can lead to beautiful chaos. We're in a space where the mood shifts with the tempo, lights dimming for the ethereal, then bursting into color for the bangers, all held together by a mid-energy core of 72.9%. Technically, keys like 12A dominate, providing a cohesive harmonic thread, while the BPM average of 143.1 allows for smooth transitions between disparate genres.
The mixing is adventurous and confident, blending Thy Raventhrone's atmospheric '...you need to learn to fall' with Dj Sliink's 'Football Anthem' in a way that shouldn't work but absolutely does. Crate digs include the opener 'Milocaine & bbyangel - Xpill' for its glitchy, experimental textures, Billy Gillies' 'Youth' for its trancey uplift that feels both nostalgic and fresh, and the closer 'LIZOT & KYANU - This Is The Life' for its anthemic house feel. Other highlights like Alberto Costas' 'Utopía' add melodic depth, proving Proc Fiskal's ear for balance.
The journey from the experimental start of 'Xpill' to the euphoric end of 'This Is The Life' showcases a DJ unafraid to take risks, rewarding us with a live set that's as unpredictable as it is satisfying, with each track choice feeling deliberate yet spontaneous.
